| Summary: | "As if Hollywood B-movies weren't funny enough, Charles Busch's campy take-offs will catapult you to even giddier heights in this exclusive hardcover 4-in-1 collection! From Vampire Lesbians of Sodom (now the longest running non-musical off-Broadway), which burlesques low-budget horror films and the 1920s 'vamp,' to Psycho Beach Party (originally titled Gidget Goes Psychotic), which satirizes the sunny, funny Annette Funicello/Frankie Avalon world of bulging biceps and beehive hairdos, Charles Busch creates hilarity! Sleeping Beauty or Coma sees a would-be fashion model slipped a double dose of LSD, while Busch's spoof on World War II propaganda films and the delicious, self-sacrificing heroines who use their feminine wiles to seduce and subdue sadistic Nazis, all done in a way that's simply 'bewitchingly entertaining.'--Clive Barnes, New York Post"--Dust-jacket front flap. |
